Jacob had his surgery today to have the above listed medical device removed. We took some candid pics on his camera getting cap and gown on. I guess it is a sort of graduation. When all the medical personnel started coming in and reviewing stuff, the smiles were gone and his worries stressed him out. It was tough going in to surgery. The procedure went well. He came out of anesthesia without any complications. He immediately started asking when he could go home and when he could get some lunch. He saved his biggest smiles for when all the wires and tubes were removed and he was being wheeled out to the car in the wheelchair. That was our funnest ride home from the hospital/clinic/outpatient surgery center.
He no longer needs to go to the oncologist monthly to have his port accessed and flushed. I'm so grateful that he doesn't need it any more.
Check out his sentence for the vocabulary word "survivor." Definition: someone or something that stayed alive.
P.S. His use of "voyage" is cute too.
Glad to hear it all went well. Congrats to Jacob!! Yippee! I want to go on a voyage to Florida too!
